The Political Party I most identify with is The Green. Because it cares about the world and our health and that’s the things we have to care about .

7. Political Issues
Non-violence: “we will work to demilitarize, and eliminate weapons of mass destruction, without being naive about the intentions of other governments”. I agree because weapons are causing a lot of disaster around the world.
Respect For Diversity: “we believe it is important to value cultural, ethnic, racial, sexual, religious and spiritual diversity, and to promote the development of respectful relationships across these lines. I agree because everyone has the right to do anything they want with their lives.

8. Domestic Policy issue
Initiate a one-trillion dollar community-based grant-in-aid program from the national government to local communities. These funds will be channeled through collaborative arrangements between state and local governments. They will require maximum feasible participation in governance by all parts of each local community receiving these grants. Also required is a 5% matching grant from each participating local community.

9. Foreign Policy Issue
We reaffirm the right of self-determination for both Palestinians and Israelis, which precludes the self-determination of one at the expense of the other. We recognize the historical and contemporary cultural diversity of Israeli-Palestinian society, including the religious heritage of Jews, Christians, Muslims and others. We support equality before international law rather than appeals to religious faith as the fair basis on which claims to the land of Palestine-Israel are resolved.

12. Education Issue
Greens support EDUCATIONAL DIVERSITY. We hold no dogma absolute, continually striving for truth in the realm of ideas. We view learning as a lifelong process to which all people have an equal right.
Education starts with CHOICE and within public education we believe in broad choices. “Magnet schools,” “Site-based Management,” “Schools within Schools,” alternative models and parental involvement are ways in which elementary education can be changed to make a real difference in the lives of our children.
